Wooden Spoon Thai Kitchen - Holland Park — Restaurant in Brisbane City

Tried this place for the first time tonight, fairly underwhelming all in all. Ordered take away and the food came out very quick, like a little too quick for much to be fresh. Had chicken satay sticks, satay sauce was nice but the chicken had no browning like it hadn't been cooked on a hot plate and texture was rubbery, I'm about 98% sure the meat was microwaved or something. Red curry was decent but not super flavoursome, nice enough but nothing to write home about. And when they say small rice for $4 they mean small! I mean it's only rice! Can't say much about the deep fried ice cream, like everything else it was fine but nothing special. Had clearly just been pulled out the freezer on order, not much deep frying going on. Wasn't a terrible food experience but won't be rushing back...

We usually order the mild fried rice from here, and it’s always been great. My toddler son especially enjoys it. However, today’s experience was disappointing. I ordered the same mild fried rice as usual and picked it up, but it turned out to be extremely spicy, far too hot for a mild version. It had lots of peppery heat, even though there were only a few visible chili flakes.

I contacted the restaurant, but they insisted no chili or pepper was added and offered no solution. If the chef is confident that no pepper was added, I suggest checking the other ingredients, something must have been mixed in that made...

I ordered take away by phone. I was told it would take 25 minutes. I arrived 30 minutes later and I have to wait another 15 or 20 minutes… Yes, it took 45 minutes. But that was only the first issue. When I got home I realised that the fish dish I ordered was not there and instead it was leather hard beef and dry vegetables. The person who this dish was for doesn’t eat beef. It was completely wasted. I tried to ring them back to get our money refunded, and there was no answer, even though the restaurant still had an hour of opening time. The food we did receive with mediocre at best. I would not recommend...
